Geocache Description:


All Saints Church was designed by Axel Haig, a Swedish architect living in Grayswood. Haig was born on the Swedish Island of Gotland, studied naval architecture in Sweden and then in 1856, at the age of 21 he moved to Port Glasgow to work in a shipyard. In his late 20's he moved to London to pursue a career as an ecclesiastical draughtsman, and he later became a world renowned etcher. The church is of early Gothic style, built of local sand-coloured Bargate stone, it has a square tower with an oak shingled spire. All Saints is thought to be the only church completely designed by Haig, although he supervised major restorations on a number of Gothic churches in Gotland, including the cathedral at Visby. Wood is used extensively on the interior of the church, giving it a warm and welcoming feeling and the construction of the pitch pine ceiling is similar to the hull of a ship. Many of the stained glass window designs and murals have Viking characteristics.

The above co-ordinates are for a very distinctive grave showing a Viking ship and a sword. The full date on the edge is August Ath 19BC.
By one of the entrance gates there is a large carved stone with another Viking boat. One of the dates on it is DE August 1921.

The cache, which is a magnetic nano, can be found at N51 06.BA(D+E) W000 41.A(C+D)C

If anybody would like to expand this series please do, I would just ask that you could let sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication
